Hot Plugging:

The MiniViewTM GCS138 supports hot plugging, which means that components can be removed and added back into the installation by unplugging their cables from the CPU ports without shutting the unit down. There are certain procedures that must be followed in order for hot plugging to work properly:

- Hot Plugging CPU Ports:

1.The cable must be plugged back into the same port it was removed from.

2.The mouse cable must be plugged in before the keyboard cable.

3.After plugging the cable back in, you must perform a KVM Reset on the First Stage unit (by pressing the Reset switch).

- Hot Plugging Console Ports:

1.You may unplug the mouse and plug it back in again (to reset the mouse, for example), as long as you use the same mouse.

2. If you plug in a different mouse, all the stations and all the computers on the installation must be shut down for 10 seconds, then restarted.

NOTE: All MiniViewTM ULTRA units must be plugged in and receiving power prior to turning on the power to the PCs. Press Port Selection Buttons 1 and 2 on the Level 1 unit simultaneously for 3 seconds to perfom a Keyboard and Mouse reset, if necessary.
